Meta description of a custom post type not detected

Any help?…

Thanks

Hello @droidafrica

Thank you for contacting the support.

Can you please tell us which variable are you mentioning from the other SEO plugin?

Or do you mean that the Shortcodes were used in the custom Meta descriptions?

Sorry for the ignorance but want to provide a clear answer.

Looking forward to helping you.

The Variable (shortcode) belongs to a custom post type generated by a Plugin, and was created by the plugin developer (%%specs%%). It is well recognized by Yoast SEO plugin.

Now, when I imported from Yoast to Rankmath, the meta description of that custom post type was blank.

Hello @droidafrica

Can you please tell us which plugin is that and did you contact the developer of that plugin to add Rank Math’s compatibility?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hey….

Thanks for your reply. Like you suggested, I have emaailed plugin developer, but he’s yet to respond.

But I opened the the customized plugin that created %%specs%%, and discovered the code snippet below, which I think is what makes Yoast compatible and able to recognize %%specs%%

// define the action for register yoast_variable replacments
	function aps_register_custom_yoast_variables() {
		wpseo_register_var_replacement( '%%specs%%', 'generate_aps_custom_meta', 'advanced', 'Add APS Product specifications attributes to SEO meta description' );
	}
	
	// Add action
	add_action('wpseo_register_extra_replacements', 'aps_register_custom_yoast_variables');

Now, can you help add any code to the above to make rankmath work just like yoast?

Just trying to follow up on this. Got a reply from the plugin developer and he said he doesn’t have any solution for now, until he is able to read through Rankmath documentation. I’m checking if there is any possible solution from your end. Thanks

Hello @droidafrica

You can show this page to the plugin developer so he can add the support which is needed for the Rank Math plugin:

Hope that helps. Thank you.

Hello,

Since we did not hear from you on this, we are assuming that the issue’s resolved.

If that is not the case, please feel free to reply to this topic or open a new one.

We are here to help.

Thank you.

Hi RankMath…

This problem is still not resolved yet. Plugin developer could not find any work-around from the link above. And he sent email to you, but there was no reply.

“Hi Stephen
i have sent message to the Rankmath support team but i didn’t received any response yet from them, just auto reply.
I humbly request you to wait for 1-2 days more, i am sending another message to them.”

Please look into this issue please.
Thanks

Hello @droidafrica

Can you please request the developer to use the contact form on our website to contact us?

We also have an email listed there. Once we receive an email, we will definitely get back to them and resolve the issue asap.

In the meantime, if there’s anything else we can help you with, please let us know. We are here to help. Thank you.

Please, help resolve this problem. Developer claims you never responded to his email, or show me how to resolve it. I just want %%specs%% registered with rank math, it is currently registered with yoast, and only yoast can recognize that term. Thanks

Hello @droidafrica

That should not be the case. We revert to every email sent to us and every support ticket.

Maybe the developer can open a new support topic here so we can keep the communication open:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/seo-by-rank-math/#new-topic-0

With that said, by utilizing the following filter, the plugin developer can register a new variable:
https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#add-extra-variables

The plugin developer can refer the code in includes/modules/woocommerce/class-wc-vars.php file. In the Rank Math plugin, we have registered variables for the product’s price using the same filter:
/develop/includes/modules/woocommerce/class-wc-vars.php#L24

Hope that helps. Thank you.
